Anthropomorphization as a method of working with indirect data
Logos i EthosIn ethology, anthropomorphization – the attribution of uniquely human characteristics to animals – is often criticized as unscientific. However, this approach seeks to reveal analogies between different species, a practice that finds parallels in ...

Inferring modules of functionally interacting proteins using the Bond Energy Algorithm
BMC Bioinformatics, 2008 Background Non-homology based methods such as phylogenetic profiles are effective for predicting functional relationships between proteins with no considerable sequence or structure similarity. Those methods rely heavily on traditional similarity metrics

Phylogenetic signal in extinction selectivity in Devonian terebratulide brachiopods [PDF]
Paleobiology, 2012 Determining which biological traits affect taxonomic durations is critical for explaining macroevolutionary patterns. Two approaches are commonly used to investigate the associations between traits and durations and/or extinction and origination rates ...

Life-history evolution on tropidurinae lizards: influence of lineage, body size and climate. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 The study of life history variation is central to the evolutionary theory. In many ectothermic lineages, including lizards, life history traits are plastic and relate to several sources of variation including body size, which is both a factor and a life ...

Disentangling determinants of egg size in the Geometridae (Lepidoptera) using an advanced phylogenetic comparative method [PDF]
Journal of Evolutionary Biology, 2012 We present a phylogenetic comparative study assessing the evolutionary determinants of egg size in the moth family Geometridae. These moths were found to show a strong negative allometric relationship between egg size and maternal body size.

Reconstructing horizontal gene flow network to understand prokaryotic evolution
Open Biology, 2022 Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is a major source of phenotypic innovation and a mechanism of niche adaptation in prokaryotes. Quantification of HGT is critical to decipher its myriad roles in microbial evolution and adaptation.
